<P CLASS=para>
An <tt CLASS=literal>IllegalAccessException</tt> is 
thrown when a program tries to dynamically load a class (i.e., uses the 
<tt CLASS=literal>forName()</tt> method of the <tt CLASS=literal>Class</tt> 
class, or the <tt CLASS=literal>findSystemClass()</tt> 
or the <tt CLASS=literal>loadClass()</tt> method of 
the <tt CLASS=literal>ClassLoader</tt> class) and 
the currently executing method does not have access to the specified class 
because it is in another package and not <tt CLASS=literal>public</tt>. 
This exception is also thrown when a program tries to create an instance 
of a class (i.e., uses the <tt CLASS=literal>newInstance()</tt> 
method of the <tt CLASS=literal>Class</tt> class) 
that does not have a zero-argument constructor accessible to the caller.
